Almost one in five Israeli-labeled food shipments entering the EU are actually from settlements in the occupied West Bank or from the Golan Heights, according to a new investigation. politico.eu/article/food-o…

Saudi Arabia diplomatic Masterstroke While the UAE is in crisis, Saudi Arabia is masterfully riding the wave with calculated diplomatic skill. The Emirates’ military alliance with Israel is not welcomed by the Saudis, as I wrote days ago. However, a resumption of war with Iran is also not viewed favorably by Riyadh, and the response is quite simple. The Saudis were diplomatically skillful in weaving an agreement with the Houthis, transforming what was once a lethal threat into a shield for their facilities and vessels. This includes their ships transiting near the coast of Somalia, which used to be an area of immense risk for Saudi shipping. On another front, the Saudis reached an agreement with Iran that safeguarded their pipeline to Yanbu. This ensures they can export over 50% of their output via the Red Sea; however, with rising oil prices, the Saudis have offset part of these losses by selling less, the masterstroke of Saudi strategy since the founding of OPEC. The bet on the US and Israel provides the Emirates with military cover, but Saudi Arabia holds the strategic depth. The trend points toward a rift in the Gulf: a Saudi-led axis favoring regional diplomacy, and an Emirati-led axis betting on external military force. You don't need to be a geopolitical expert to see that Israeli troops in the Emirates will only deepen their isolation from their neighbors. The Saudis are making a hidden and ambitious bet, that this rapprochement between the Emirates and Israel is temporary and will weaken both internal and external support for the UAE, eventually forcing MBZ to come and beg for Saudi assistance. Riyadh has fulfilled its agreement to grant land and airspace to the Americans, kept most of its infrastructure intact by negotiating with Iran, struck an excellent deal with the Houthis, and is now betting against the Emirates without firing a single shot.

There's an Israeli influence operation called "Generative AI for Good" that creates AI "victims" of Iran to agitate for regime change. They just held a conference last week in NYC. Here's a short clip of one of the deepfake propaganda videos they released a few weeks ago.

Israel is holding talks with the Christian and Sunni leaders of the Lebanese government, talks opposed by Shia leaders. As map of sectarian divisions shows, this is more likely to lead to cleansing the Shia from the south and civil war than peace.

“Somos adversarios en esta sala pero representamos todos a Italia y no aceptaremos ataques o amenazas de extranjeros a nuestra presidenta. Somos un país libre y soberano”. La líder de la oposición italiana por los ataques de Trump a Meloni. ¿Se imaginan algo así en España?

Brava Elly che difende la Meloni e l’Italia dagli attacchi di Trump

Trump ha dado una entrevista exclusiva al Corriere della Sera para zurrar a Meloni. La corresponsal en Nueva York del diario italiano, Viviana Mazza, recibe una llamada. Lo cuenta ella misma en su crónica: "Incluso antes de darnos tiempo para hacer la primera pregunta, es el presidente de Estados Unidos quien nos la hace a nosotros, preguntándonos por la primera ministra Giorgia Meloni". Pregunta Trump: "¿Les gusta a los italianos que su presidenta no nos esté dando ninguna ayuda para conseguir el petróleo? ¿Le gusta a la gente? No puedo imaginármelo. Estoy sorprendido con ella. Pensaba que era valiente, me equivocaba". Y luego sigue así la conversación: Corriere: ¿Le ha hablado de esto? Trump: No. Simplemente dice que Italia no quiere involucrarse. Aunque Italia obtiene su petróleo de allí, aunque Estados Unidos es muy importante para Italia. Ella no cree que Italia deba involucrarse. Cree que Estados Unidos debería hacer el trabajo por ella. Corriere: Sobre el Papa, Giorgia Meloni ha dicho que es inaceptable lo que usted ha dicho. Trump: La inaceptable es ella, porque no le importa si Irán tiene un arma nuclear y haría saltar por los aires Italia en dos minutos si tuviera la posibilidad. Corriere: ¿Pero han hablado de estas cosas? ¿No han hablado ni una sola vez en este mes? Trump: No, no (hemos hablado) desde hace mucho tiempo. Corriere: ¿Por qué? Trump: Porque no quiere ayudarnos con la OTAN, no quiere ayudarnos a deshacernos del arma nuclear. Es alguien muy diferente de lo que pensaba".

The only regime change the Trump administration has achieved so far.

El nuevo líder húngaro Magyar abre así su primera conferencia de prensa: “Antes, las conferencias de prensa funcionaban de tal manera que los medios de propaganda hacían preguntas que les eran escritas por el gobierno… Ahora vamos a ceder la palabra a aquellos medios húngaros que todavía son independientes”.

Péter Magyar opens his first press conference as incoming Hungarian PM: "Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

Within 10 days, parts of the global economy will start running short of critical goods After 30 years studying economic sanctions and blockades, I don’t say this lightly: --Not just higher prices --Shortages. Markets are not ready for this

JD Vance, en Budapest: "¿Os alzaréis contra los burócratas de Bruselas? ¿Defenderéis la civilización occidental? ¿Defenderéis la libertad, la verdad y al Dios de nuestros padres? Entonces, amigos míos, ¡acudid a las urnas y defended a Viktor Orbán!":

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

I truly believe 2026 can be the year of ending a 2,000 year-long conflict. Peace is only possible because of the courage of our men and women in uniform and the leadership of President @realDonaldTrump.

INSANE: CCTV footage shows hundreds of Israeli settlers storming the village of Jalud in the West Bank before launching their pogrom, attacking Palestinian homes and setting them on fire in an attempt to burn people alive.

Has anyone ever been proven so catastrophically wrong so quickly?

A typical night for millions of Ukrainian children because the russian army came to “liberate” them.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Iranian strike sparks massive fire at Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar, the world’s largest LNG export facility. Major escalation.

Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines. But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes. Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities. What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life
